Thank you, Ms. Ballantyne. Mr. Abernethy.

Thank you, Minister Roland. Committee, we’re on page 2-21, Department of Executive, activity summary, executive operations, operations expenditure summary, $7.010 million. Agreed?

Mr. Chair, if I could just get an explanation of what’s exceptional about this year for that expenditure.

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. Minister Roland.

I appreciate, again, those remarks on the role the department plays. I guess for now I’m looking at where in this budget it reflects the effort that it’s going to take to bring our Aboriginal partners to the table again in our devolution discussions.

Thank you, Mr. Abernethy. Mr. Roland.

Thank you, Mr. Minister. Next on my list I have Mr. Krutko.

Mr. Chairman, that explains it. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Page 2-19, Executive, information item, Ministers’ offices, active positions.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I just want to understand this department’s role in negotiations on devolution, such as the AIP. It was covered in the general remarks of the Premier under Executive. I’m assuming this department plays a big part in these negotiations. At least the information states they play a major role in all lands and resources negotiations. Could I just get that confirmed?
